The wise shadchan asks: Does this person I’m thinking of for you fit with what you are looking for?
To the shadchan you answer: Do we have the same plans & do we match up.
The wicked shadchan asks: Why are you marketable?
To this shadchan you answer: How did you get married?
The simple shadchan asks: What are you looking for?
To the shadchan you answer: Which of the zillion factors do you mean? & when that doesn’t suffice, say- this is who I am do you know someone who fits with my profile?
The shadchan who doesn’t know how to ask:
To the shadchan you initiate: Please defer your services to someone who does…
NO! It isn’t pesach yet!!!!
What about the clueless shadchan who just met you 5 minutes ago and is convinced that they know the “perfect” girl for you? I had way too many of those. It never ceases to annoy me. Do you really think you know someone from seeing them for 5 minutes?!
ab- well put! 🙂
wiy +1. Seriously, you didn’t know i existed, and now that i said hello, you have the perfect match. Before they ask what i’m looking for often. Believe themselves mind-readers, they do
Perhaps that is an ice breaker for them to get to know you better to see if it is a good shidduch.
by telling me all about this boy and asking if i’ll go out with him? They cant suggest someone before they know me at all. And yes some of those suggestions have been wayyyyyyy off

I laugh at this because I met with one shadchanit, and she told me (at the first meeting) that she knew someone for me. It turns out – I married the girl!
or the shadchente that calls from halfway around the world because “someone told me you have boys”
Good job alter bachur!

Guys, you would be amazed what random peole can reveal to me during a simple shoe fitting. I assure that if a shadchan would work in my shop she would know what every bochur and girl wants after less than five minutes. I’ve heard similar sentiments from hairdressers… etc..
Remember good shadchaniyot normally are good judges of character, know a lot of background information about families, shuls, etc.., and yes, many can help you after just a few minutes.
